It sounds completely insane, (probably because I am), but I've been through everything from locking the cupboards at night, to in-patient eating disorder centers -and I still have this terrible habit. I've had counselors, and tried eating more food during the day, but night time hunger doesn't seem to be the problem. I'll eat even when I'm not hungry at all.

Usually the times when I struggle most with NES is anywhere around 9 pm to 3 am.

It sounds weird, but I was wondering if anyone would be willing to call/text me sometime every night just to remind me to stay out of the kitchen. It might help just to have someone to keep accountable to just for support.

Any feedback would be appreciated!
Hi, I also night eat and have posted on this before. I also have locked food up (or put it away) at night out of desperation. I have even tried a licensed hypnotist. He wasn't able to hypnotize it out of me. When my depression is bad, as it is now, I am eating far more carbs in general and thus more night eating too. I wish I had the answer for you, I'd love to have it myself.
